yeah the rears are 20x11 and the fronts are 20x9. i wasnt too crazy about the offset at first but i tell you they have grown on me. i think it gives an aggressive look that flows with the car because of the way the rear of the car widens.

Hey, thats where we buy our Mercedes cars from, Globe Motorcars in Fairfield, NJ. Great place, im going to talk to my service guy about this car, i believe they put the rims on, cause ive seen this car on the lot before. Really sharp rims, super thin tires!

thanks for the reply but they didn't put the rims on. i had them put on myself. the car was never on their lot for more than an hour. the car came from texas. i was there when the truck came. they slapped the temp on, cleaned it up and off i went. if any of you remember this pic these wheels were on the other side of this car. the ones shown in this pic are silver. they didnt do it for me. this was at the sema 2002 show.
